Press Reviews
After a few minutes getting the lighting guy to actually allow everyone to be able to see the band, Emberfall kicked of their set with '...Memo', a melodic amalgamation of acoustic and 'heavy'. One of the most memorable of the Emberfall set and a favourite with all.
Next up, 'Zero Solution'; a new addition to the Emberfall repertoire. A mixture of time signatures and beautiful riffs. 'As the Last Leaf Falls' followed, also a new addition, which offered the extremities of Emberfall, with guitarist Paul seemingly attempt to break bones with his guitar. The crowd was either amazed or scared; however they all seemed to enjoy it in some way!
'Butterfly Theory' provided a melodic period of quiet contemplation, smoothly moving to 'Corduroy', a collaboration of noise, distorted bass and a lovely little acoustic outro.
Beyond this point I guess I was overwhelmed, since everything seems kind of blurred… or maybe it’s just my crappy memory! Anyway, at some point Emberfall played the song “Dieing in Technicolor”. Yet another new song in their set, with Paul taking up on lead vocals. The band showed their versatility, and the result was fabulous.
They continued with “Kaladitas”, brining in a big chunk of variety. With an explosive opening, this song leaves you in a surprisingly peppy mood. Moving on, came “She Said She Never Wanted to Fly”, with a rendition of a ‘Children of Bodem’-esque guitar lead and some fantastically memorable drum rhythms with Sean taking advantage of the painfully clacky tom rims to add some ‘catchiness’ to the song.
Emberfall closed their set with a recently reworked song, now named “Princess”. Consisting of some of the most obscure time signature changes, syncopation and sheer stupidity; it’s a mass of almost traumatic noise. Leading the crowd into quiet consideration, “Princess” suddenly doubles in pace and explodes into chaos. The obscurity and chaos of this song emphasise the underlying emotions and feelings behind it. As a method of what can only be called comic relief, Chris decided to drop his bass and perform a forward roll in the centre of the crowd. Yes, Emberfall do their utmost to entertain. |
